It was 1988 when Chopard decided to sponsor the historic car race that had re-started the tradition of crossing Italy after many years. They also launched a watch dedicated to the race at the same time.

Cars and timepieces became a winning couple and year after year, the high end models were greatly anticipated.

Mille Miglia which will take place from the 17th to the 19th of May will travel the boot from Brescia to Rome and back. Chopard along with Mille Miglia,has has created the Mille Miglia Chrono 2012 in two limited editions- one in steel (2012 pieces) and the other in pink gold (250 pieces).

It has over-sized hands making it extremely legible, is an automatic self-winding with certified COSC movement, has a 24 hour time zone scale, is water resistant up to 50 meters and has a rubber strap designed to look like a 1960s Dunlop tire. It is a model that further enriches Chopard’s already copious Classic Racing collection.
